About JINXU Brocade

ABOUT THE COLLECTION

JINXU brings brocade from Binyang, Guangxi into the rhythm of everyday life: a bag at the door, a notebook on the desk, a little colour at the wrist.

Woven Into Every Piece

A woven pattern, carried into everyday life.

Brocade Desk Gift Set in context

The collection brings together bags, small accessories, wearable textiles and pieces for the home. Each form gives patterned cloth a different place in everyday life.

Pattern, Detail & Everyday Life

Garden Bucket Bag in context

At Home Between Journeys

A bucket bag rests on a favourite chair, ready for the next outing. Warm wood and soft cloth make room for its woven pattern.

Brocade Butterfly Hair Clip in context

Part Of Getting Ready

A small woven butterfly holds back the hair. Pattern becomes part of a familiar morning routine.

Patterned Ceramic Tea Pair in context

A Moment At The Table

Patterned ceramics bring texture to a tea break, with a handle to hold and a cup ready to share.

The Making Of A Bag

The source film follows the assembly of a pink baguette bag. It is a close look at making a bag from cloth; it is not presented as evidence that every textile in this collection was handwoven.

Follow a pattern from the close-up photograph to the finished piece, then into a photograph of everyday use. The relationship between those views is the centre of this collection.

From woven cloth to a finished piece: watch the bag-assembly film below for a closer look at the making process.
